Nanjing Museum
Nejlepší čas k návštěvě
Weekday mornings right when the gates open (9:00 AM) to avoid the school groups and tour buses that pack the halls by midday. Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for the lovely outdoor garden areas between exhibition halls.

O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: Over 400,000 artifacts call this museum home, with only a fraction on display at any time. The collection spans from prehistoric times through the Ming and Qing dynasties, offering a dizzying journey through millennia of Chinese civilization.
Zajímavosti: Look for the "Golden Cicada" from the Han dynasty, a tiny burial ornament carved from a single piece of jade with wings so thin you can see light through them. The museum's underground treasure room stores over 2,000 of the finest pieces in climate-controlled darkness, rotating them out only once a decade to preserve their condition.
Insider tipy
- Start at the History of Jiangsu exhibition on the second floor, it gives crucial context for everything else you'll see.
- The roof garden on the top floor is rarely crowded and offers a peaceful view over the surrounding cityscape.
- Bring a photo ID (passport for foreigners) as it's required for ticket pickup even with an online reservation.
- Skip the permanent exhibition of modern art unless you have extra time, the ancient artifacts are the real draw here.
